I can't imagine why
you say the things you do
Maybe in time I'll understand
What is the reason for the emptiness you feel
When I'm trying everything I can
My love is running
deeper than the night
Stronger than the north wind blowing
It's a fire burning bright
And it's always been this way
Can you hear me?
Am I really coming thru?
Why do your eyes seem to dance away?
I know what's right for you Haven't I always?
I need you more than I can say
My love is running
deeper than the night
Stronger than the north wind blowing
It's a fire burning bright
And it's always been this way
My love is running
deeper than the night
Stronger than the north wind blowing
It's a fire burning bright
And it's always been this way
And I'll never ever
change
In my lifetime, I'll stay the same
Yes I'll never, I'll never change
I'll love you, I'll stay the same
My love is running
deeper than the night
Stronger than the north wind blowing
Fire burning bright, and it keeps on growing, keeps on growing

The Pussycat Dolls are an American girl groupand dance ensemble,
founded in Los Angeles,
California,
by choreographer Robin Antinin 1995 as a burlesquetroupe. At the suggestion of Jimmy Iovine,
Antin decided to take the burlesque troupe mainstream as a pop group. Antin negotiated
a record deal with Interscope Geffen A&M Recordsin 2003 turning the group into a music franchise comprising Nicole
Scherzinger, Carmit Bachar,
Ashley Roberts,
Jessica Sutta,
Melody Thornton,
and Kimberly Wyatt.
Their debut single, "Sway", was featured on the
soundtrack of the 2004 film Shall We Dance?
The Pussycat Dolls achieved worldwide success
with number-one singles "Don't Cha",
"Stickwitu",
"Buttons", and their multi-platinumdebut album PCD(2005). However, despite their commercial success, the group was plagued by
internal conflict due to the emphasis on Scherzinger, the group's lead
vocalist, and the subordinate treatment of the other members. Bachar's
departure from the group preceded the release of their second and final studio álbum
Doll Domination(2008), which contains hit singles "When I Grow Up",
"I Hate This Part",
and "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)". Following
the completion of their 2009
world tour, the group went on hiatus and
fully disbanded in 2010. The original recording line-up, minus Thornton,
announced their reunion in 2019 with an upcoming tourand a new
album.
The Pussycat Dolls brand diversified into
merchandise, reality
television programs, a Las Vegasact, product endorsements, spin-off recording groups (Girlicious,
Paradiso Girls,
G.R.L.), and
other ventures. Billboardranked the Pussycat Dolls as the 80th most successful musical act of
the 2000s. The group has sold 55 million records worldwide, making them one of
the best-selling girl groupsof all time. In

Doll Domination is the second studio albumby American girl groupthe
Pussycat Dolls, released on September 19, 2008
by Interscope
Records. The album's release was preceded by the
departure of the group's longest-standing member Carmit Bachar.
Development began in February 2008 where the group worked with previous
collaborators Sean Garrett,
Polow da Donand Timbalandand new ones such as Darkchild,
J-Rocand Chase N Cashe. Polow da
Don, R. Kellyand Snoop Doggalso make guest performances on the album. Four songs on Doll
Domination were originally recorded for the lead singer Nicole
Scherzinger's debut solo album, Her Name is
Nicole, which was shelved after the under-performance of its preceding singles.
The album consists of a mixture of popand R&Bsongs that also blend elements of dance,
electropopwith lyrics that tackle fame, sexuality and relationships. All of
the lead and background vocals were sang by Scherzinger with support from Melody Thornton,
whilst the remaining group members are only credited for background vocals.
Upon release, Doll Domination received mixed reviews from music critics.
The album debuted at number four on the US Billboard
200becoming the group's highest
charting album. It
experienced similar peaks in international territories, debuting at number
three in Canada and number four in Australia and the United Kingdom. Doll
Domination was later reissued in multiple versions throughout 2009. The
album was supported with a world tour titled Doll
Domination Tourin 2009.
The album was preceded by the release of the
US Billboard Hot 100top-ten single "When I Grow Up"
and the UK top-ten hit "Whatcha Think About That"
(featuring Missy Elliott).
Other successful
singles were "I Hate This Part", "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)",
and "Hush Hush; Hush Hush", all of which
reached the top ten in numerous countries worldwide. Although "Jai Ho!
(You Are My Destiny)" became a number-one hit in Australia, Ireland,
Finland, among other countries, the single caused tension on the group as
Scherzinger was billed as a featured artist. Despite their commercial success,
unhappiness of Scherzinger's spotlight and prominence within the group grew
leading to a public outburst by Thornton during the tour. In early-2010, the
group disbanded to pursue solo projects, before reforming in 2019 with the
promise of new music. In 2019, Doll Domination was
re-released, excluding the R. Kelly collaboration "Out of This Club"
following the airing of the Surviving
R. Kellydocumentary and subsequent abuse
allegations against the singer.
